Farm: With 100 Questions and 70 Flaps To Lift!

Gr 1–3—An enlightening series, disguised in an oversize board book format. Within the scope of 100 questions, these titles are surprisingly thorough. Farm discusses the big picture of what farms encompass and why they are important to society. It then categorizes the minutiae of buildings, equipment, animals, and crops. Human Body is more ambitious, tackling the purpose behind the body's major systems and then going into the anatomy and physiology of each. The texts are clear but can be lengthy and contain challenging words, such as follicle and platelets in Human Body and tubers in Farm. The dense amount of fascinating facts makes these appropriate for curious beginners as well as those writing basic reports. The illustrations are bold and colorful, in a folk art style. They are also especially detailed, particularly Human Body, which accurately covers anatomy and physiology at an age-appropriate level. The number of flaps on each page varies, from multiple small flaps with bits of information to almost full-page flaps with several paragraphs.
